Charting development and emergence of characteristics of vegan cheese

I would like to see

• a chart of the historical development and emergence of physical characteristics (e.g. tastes, variety of tastes and type, melting, nutritional properties, costs-to-produce vs. costs in market, etc.) of vegan cheese, and
• how vegan cheese food processing technologies have improved the 'best practices' product, and
• a history of adoption of nondairy 'vegan cheeses' in different nations and parts of nations.

That set of really difficult-to-research contributions could help make this a truly great scholarly product. MaynardClark (talk) 02:52, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Real vegan cheese has actually been produced

Both camembert and blue cheese have been produced, using appropriate Acidophilus and Penicillium bacteria in a cashew (or raw sunflower seed) paste and coconut oil substrate. Multiple taste tests suggest they are essentially indistinguishable from similar milk-based cheeses. Aging takes 4 weeks (Camembert) to 3 months (strong blue cheese.)

This site also has 'goat' and 'cream' cheeses, using cashew paste and Acidophilus (requiring 1-2 days of fermentation.)

Camembert is a moist, soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese from Normandy, in Northwest France. It cannot be vegan. OrewaTel (talk) 06:36, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Misleading Description

The term 'Vegan Cheese' is an oxymoron since cheese, by definition, must contain animal products. Countries with laws requiring food to be truthfully labelled have outlawed this term. Should Wikipedia not reflect this by calling the ersatz cheese by a correct name such as 'cheese substitute' or 'cheese analogue'? OrewaTel (talk) 06:33, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

The EU banned this on product ads/packaging and the UK retained the ban after Brexit, yes. We are not the EU though, we are Wikipedia and have the policy WP:NPOVNAME: When the subject of an article is referred to mainly by a single common name, as evidenced through usage in a significant majority of English-language sources, Wikipedia generally follows the sources and uses that name as its article title. "Vegan cheese" seems more common. For example, it yields 2.4 million search results on Google News, whereas "cheese substitute" only comes back with 0.1m results. ‎⠀Trimton⠀‎‎ 06:42, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
